    A comparative archaeometric study of Late Bronze Age Black Lustrous and Red Lustrous Wheel-made wares from the Eastern Mediterranean
    (Elsevier, 2025) Kibaroglu, Mustafa; Kozal, Ekin; Crewe, Lindy; Martin, Mario A. S.; Hein, Irmgard; Monien, Patrick; Bergoffen, Celia J.
    Black Lustrous Wheel-made Ware (BLW) and Red Lustrous Wheel-made Ware (RLW) are two distinctive fine ceramic types that circulated across the Eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age (c. 1650-1050 BCE). While RLW has been extensively studied and its production linked to Rough Cilicia (Southern Anatolia), the provenance, manufacturing, and distribution of BLW remain poorly understood. BLW appears in small quantities at sites across Cyprus, the Levant, Egypt, and Southern Anatolia, yet its relationship to RLW has not been systematically examined through archaeometric analysis. This study presents the results of an archaeometric investigation of 45 BLW samples from Alalakh (T & uuml;rkiye), Enkomi (Cyprus), Ashkelon (Israel), and Aniba (Egypt) to address questions regarding raw material sources, production, and possible connections between BLW and RLW in terms of provenance and technological traditions. To achieve this, a multi-analytical approach was employed, integrating laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and strontium-neodymium (Sr-Nd) isotope analysis for elemental and isotopic characterization for provenance determination, and petrographic thin-section analysis for fabric characterization. Additionally, 22 reference clay samples from the northern Cyprus were analyzed to assess potential raw material sources for BLW. The analytical results demonstrate that BLW was produced using multiple clay sources available in northern/ northeastern Cyprus, supporting the archaeological hypothesis of a Cypriot origin. Compositional data further indicate that BLW and RLW represent distinct manufacturing traditions, with RLW linked to Southern Anatolia, while BLW belongs to the Cypriot Late Bronze Age ceramic tradition.

    New evidence on the provenance of Red Lustrous Wheel-made Ware (RLW): Petrographic, elemental and Sr-Nd isotope analysis
    (Elsevier, 2019) Kibaroglu, Mustafa; Kozal, Ekin; Kluegel, Andreas; Hartmann, Gerald; Monien, Patrick
    The Red Lustrous Wheel-made Ware (RLW) is a distinctive Late Bronze Age ware produced from high quality red clay with an array of particular forms and a polished red surface. It has a wide distribution in the Eastern Mediterranean, mainly including central Anatolia, Cilicia, Cyprus, the Levant, and Egypt, indicating the important role of the ware in displaying possible cultural, commercial, and political interconnections. Its unique and identical character throughout its distribution area still complicates the identification of its provenance. Therefore, it has been the subject of numerous archaeological and archaeometric studies. In previous archaeological studies, a Cypriot origin for the ware has been proposed and generally accepted. In comparison to archaeological research, Cyprus and/or Anatolia are suggested as the origin of RLW in previous archaeometric studies. However, the latest discoveries from Anatolia suggests that the production place of RLW could be located in Rough Cilicia in southern Anatolia, as new RLW forms have been identified at Kilise Tepe level III (1500-1300 BCE). This study focuses on the newly identified RLW forms of jar and its subgroups excavated at Kilise Tepe, level III (c. 1500-1300 BCE). We report archaeometric results of petrographic, trace element and Sr (Sr-87/ Sr-86) and Nd (Nd-143/Nd-144) isotopic analysis of RLW samples, not only from Kilise Tepe in southern Anatolia but also from Bogazkoy/Hattusa in central Anatolia, and Tell Atchana/Alalakh in the Amuq Plain as comparative material. Archaeometric results suggest that the new RLW forms with their subgroups belong to the main chemical and mineralogical corpus of RLW. These results support the thesis that Kilise Tepe is the site with the largest variety of RLW forms, and also the hypothesis that the origin of RLW might be in Rough Cilicia in southern Anatolia. A few samples from each site were defined as outliers, indicating that there are small amounts of RLW produced from other clays, the sources of which remain unidentified.

    Technological continuity and change in Late Bronze and Iron Age Plain Ware pottery from Sirkeli Ho?y?k (Cilicia, southern Anatolia)
    (Elsevier, 2022) Haciosmanoglu, Sinem; Kibaroglu, Mustafa; Kozal, Ekin; Moenninghoff, Hannah; Opitz, Joachim
    The period from the Late Bronze Age (c. 1550-1190 BCE) to the Iron Age (c. 1190-330 BCE) in the eastern Mediterranean is characterized by upheavals in political and socio-economic structures, accompanied by changes in material culture such as pottery production. Plain Ware is one of the most common pottery types found in Plain Cilicia in southern Anatolia during the Late Bronze and the Iron Ages and displays typological and stylistic variations during these periods. In this work, we examined the Plain Ware from Sirkeli Ho center dot yuk, one of the key settlements in Plain Cilicia, using petrographic, mineralogical (XRPD), microtextural (SEM-EDX), and chemical analysis (LA-ICP-MS). The main objective is to determine the source of raw materials and to investigate Plain Ware production including clay procurement, clay processing, and firing techniques. Our archaeometric results suggest that the vessels were produced from calcareous clay available in the Ceyhan Plain. We have observed continuity in the methods of Plain Ware production from the Late Bronze Age to the Iron Age with a minor change in the Iron Age.
